Elon Musk

The spam accounts are not the only reason Musk might try to wriggle out of the deal. Twitter's share price has fallen dramatically since his takeover bid in ...

Twitter does not ban all bots, which include accounts that post otter pictures on the hour or the temperature in a specific location. “It doesn’t seem to me that a court would find that persuasive.” Tobias cited Musk’s own waving of due diligence in his hasty acceptance of the deal. It said it has always been comfortable that the total comes under the 5 percent threshold. He accused Twitter of withholding information, while the company said it was acting in good faith and providing everything the deal’s terms required it to. Outside researchers have sometimes said the number of bots and spam accounts could be much higher than Twitter’s estimate. “It does seem to me that it undercuts a lot of arguments he could try to make otherwise,” he said. Musk waived his right to take a deeper look at the company’s finances when he signed the deal. Twitter itself has said it intends to complete the deal. Musk has agreed to complete it unless something major happens to Twitter’s business, and legal experts doubt the bot issue would qualify. Now that Musk’s team has concluded it cannot verify Twitter’s figures on spam accounts, one of the people said, it is expected to take potentially drastic action. “We believe this agreement is in the best interest of all shareholders. Twitter’s share price has fallen dramatically since his takeover bid in April, leading to the impression that he is overpaying.

In a country where child care costs are unsustainable even for many middle-class families, and one in six children suffer from hunger, 20% miss at least a meal a day, and 30% Black children miss a meal during the weekend, the large families Musk congratulates people on having are either a great privilege, or a complete nightmare. Grimes didn’t carry her second, a surrogate did, and all of them likely have had the privilege of having significant child care support that they can afford. Although there are some arguments in favor of delaying having children to help the planet, population decline can indeed be worrisome—in wealthy nations at least.

Mr. Musk has provided Twitter with a limited guarantee in favor of Twitter (the “Limited Guarantee”). The Limited Guarantee guarantees, among other things, the payment of the termination fee payable by Parent to Twitter, subject to the conditions set forth in the Limited Guarantee. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under other specified limited circumstances, Parent will be required to pay Twitter a termination fee of $1.0 billion. This termination fee will also be payable by Twitter to Parent in the event that, generally, (1) a competing acquisition proposal for 50% or more of the stock or consolidated assets of Twitter has been publicly announced and not withdrawn, (2) the Merger Agreement is terminated because Twitter’s stockholders fail to adopt the Merger Agreement or because Twitter materially breaches the Merger Agreement, and (3) within twelve months of such termination of the Merger Agreement, Twitter enters into a definitive agreement providing for a competing acquisition proposal for 50% or more of the stock or consolidated assets of Twitter and such acquisition is subsequently consummated.

Shares dipped in late trading Thursday, reversing earlier gains on fresh speculation that its acquisition by Elon Musk may be at risk over spam accounts.

He is pushing the bot (short for robot) issue as a major problem. That is double the number of daily bot takedowns CEO Parag Agrawal cited in a May tweet. Bot or not, the transaction timing was bad, right before a massive market plunge with tech stocks among the worst hit.

World's richest man has threatened to drop acquisition of firm in dispute over fake accounts.

Musk has expressed concerns that the 5% figure is substantially higher, a stance that appears to be a bridgehead for either terminating or renegotiating a deal that is bound by a tight legal agreement. Twitter has stated consistently in its quarterly results since 2014 that it estimates its spam account problem to represent less than 5% of its daily active users. Its chief executive, Parag Agrawal, said in May that spam account suspensions were running at 500,000 a day.

Parag Agrawal tries to prove his sceptics wrong as social media company fights to close $44bn deal with Tesla boss.

Washington Post says Musk team has stopped certain funding discussions as Tesla CEO questions spam account figures.

Twitter can also demand a $1bn break fee from Musk if he attempts to renege on the agreement. A Twitter spokesperson said: “Twitter has and will continue to cooperatively share information with Mr Musk to consummate the transaction in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. Musk’s team has stopped certain discussions around funding for the $44bn deal, according to a report in the Washington Post, citing three people familiar with the matter.

Shivon Zilis, an artificial intelligence expert at Musk's neurotech startup, gave birth to twins in November 2021. Court documents show Musk is the father.

According to Business Insider: Most companies frown on relationships between supervisors and direct-report employees, because the professional power imbalance can never be completely disentangled from the personal relationship. Zilis met the Tesla boss through her work with artificial intelligence research startup OpenAI, co-founded by Musk, who left his role there in 2018.

Mr. Musk has appeared reluctant to proceed with the $44 billion agreement, citing uncertainty about the number of fake accounts on the platform.

Twitter strongly believes that the deal contract is on its side, and that it would be an uphill battle for Mr. Musk. The deal has a “ specific performance clause,” which gives the company the right to sue him and force him to complete the deal so long as the debt financing he has corralled remains intact. A case could be heard in Delaware, where Twitter is registered. Mr. Musk did not respond to a request for a comment. But he may try to claim that this disclosure is intentionally misleading, a very high bar to meet legally. A $44 billion deal was reached in April between Mr. Musk and Twitter, and the two sides have since been working to close the deal. It has continued to share additional information with him.

The twins, born to Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, were born shortly before Musk's second child with musician Grimes.

Zilis, a Yale graduate, joined Neuralink in 2017, according to her LinkedIn page. The couple then had twins followed by triplets. Their first child died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, when he was 10 weeks old, Wilson wrote in a Marie Claire article.

Insider reported he had twins in November with Shivon Zilis, a director at Neuralink.

The Washington Post reported Musk's team believes the number of fake bot and spam accounts estimated by Twitter to be fewer than 5% cannot be verified after ...

Since then, the two sides appeared to go dark. That may in part be due to resistance from Musk’s own shareholders. During the town hall meeting, no one directly asked him whether he was committed to buying the company, and Musk chose not to volunteer any indication. “It seems Twitter is willing to go to war to make this deal happen,” the Post quoted a former Twitter executive as saying. Separately, the Financial Times on Friday reported Twitter’s management is pressing to hold a shareholder vote on the deal by early August, with the CEO pushing back against Musk’s disparaging comments more aggressively in internal meetings. Legal experts have warned, however, that under Delaware law, where Twitter is incorporated, Musk could find himself on thin ice with a judge, since he waived the right to due diligence when signing off on the acquisition deal with Twitter’s board in late April.

This week in Elon Musk news, we found out about two new kids in the family, Musk picked another fight about Twitter, and he's still all about Mars.

We’ve been saying for a while that Musk’s whole “I love free speech no matter what but also follow the rules of governments” thing was never going to actually work in the real world. With every scandal, it becomes a little more obvious why he sees Twitter as so valuable: it’s an unparalleled narrative-control machine with which he can tell 100 million people at a time that everything’s a lie or a joke or not as big a deal as you think or irrelevant because all we should care about is Mars. Twitter is, to borrow a phrase from Apple, Musk’s reality distortion field. Always. He has these big goals — make gas cars obsolete, get to Mars, fix traffic, understand the human brain, on and on — and has proven he doesn’t particularly care what it takes to accomplish them. The Washington Post reported that Musk’s Twitter acquisition may be falling apart but didn’t provide any reason why other than “Elon is still mad about bots.” Meanwhile, Twitter continues to go out of its way to say it does not have a bot problem. He’s even back to pumping Dogecoin, though it turns out not even Musk can save the crashing prices of crypto. The Indian government has been tightening its rules for online speech and demanded Twitter remove certain accounts and posts for violating its new laws. There’s been a lot of talk about the Musk family over the last couple of weeks. There’s still exactly zero evidence that Musk plays by the rules, acknowledges those rules, or even allows rules to exist in the first place. Musk does as Musk wants — all the time, everywhere. Elon Musk’s pinned tweet is from May. It’s a chart from The Wall Street Journal showing that the US fertility rate has been below the “replacement level” since the 1970s. This is just how Musk operates — and how his companies operate by extension. “USA birth rate has been below min sustainable levels for ~50 years,” was Musk’s contribution to the tweet.

Elon Musk said on Friday he planned to "significantly" increase childcare benefits at his companies, including Tesla Inc , and that the details would be ...

Kids are worth it if at all possible,” he wrote on Twitter and announced that the Musk Foundation will plan to donate directly to families.

Americans and their families lose an estimated $22.5 billion in wages annually due to a lack of paid and family and medical leave, according to think tank Center for American Progress. That cost exceeds the 7% threshold the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services uses as a benchmark definition for affordable child care. (Musk recently sent an email to employees at Tesla demanding that everyone spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week.) Nick Cannon, the television host who Thursday said he is “ right there with” Musk in having a big family, was also included in the reply. Musk’s Friday social media post was in response to a Twitter user who asked the billionaire what he would say to those who don’t have many children for cost reasons. The petition was first reported by Insider, revealing the existence of two of Musk's nine children to the world.

In addition to electric-car maker Tesla and SpaceX, Musk founded and has funded the Boring Co. and Neuralink, where Zilis is director of operations and special projects. Tesla provides limited details of its current childcare benefits on the company website and didn’t respond to a request for comment on that matter. His remarks follow a report by Business Insider revealing that Musk fathered twins born to Shivon Zilis in 2021–around the same time he had a daughter with former girlfriend Claire Boucher, better known as the singer Grimes, using a surrogate mother.

The richest man on the planet can get everything he wants, but maybe what he's after is the thrill of the impossible.

Maybe Musk is just trying to lower the price of the deal so that he doesn’t have to leverage most of his personal fortune to buy a company he seemingly no longer wants. But there are a lot of people who think this is part of a larger ploy to abandon the deal altogether. And saying again that he doesn’t have enough data could be another attempt at the same strategy to delay or pressure the board to change the terms of the deal. If Musk got all the information that he asked for, how could he still be lacking the data to figure out the deal with the bots? Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that Musk has stopped engaging in talks to fund the deal with other investors because of the number of bots, and it certainly looks like he’s really trying to back out of it or at least negotiate the deal through the press. But whether or not it’s enough to get out of the deal remains to be seen.

Elon Musk has filed to back out of his deal to buy Twitter, accusing the company of making false and misleading statements during their negotiations.

On some level, Musk’s Twitter acquisition had always seemed more like a game than a real attempt to purchase and grow a business. Musk seemed to relish the ability to make wishful product plans about free speech and corporate independence more than he wanted to develop a coherent business plan for Twitter. According to The New York Times, Musk laid out goals for Twitter under his leadership that seemed wildly ambitious, to say the least. Twitter still hopes to close the deal, despite Musk’s attempted termination. And there’s good reason for Twitter to want to keep the agreement together: the deal was a potentially lucrative one for Twitter shareholders, offering $54.20 per share, up from the $36.81 it closed at today. “Twitter has failed or refused to provide this information.” It’s incumbent that Musk prove that Twitter has breached their agreement, as he can’t just pull out the signed agreement because he feels like it.

Billionaire Elon Musk wants to end his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. Musk's lawyer claimed Twitter failed to comply with its obligations in the merger ...

"Despite public speculation on this point, Mr. Musk did not waive his right to review Twitter's data and information simply because he chose not to seek this data and information before entering into the Merger Agreement," Ringer added. On the day of that announcement, the stock ended the trading day at $51.70 per share. Under the terms of the agreement, Musk agreed to pay $1 billion if he backs out. The stock has fallen considerably since the board announced it had accepted his offer to buy the company at $54.20 per share. "Twitter has failed or refused to provide this information," Ringler claimed. Musk has previously said he wanted to assess Twitter's claims that about 5% of its monetizable daily active users (mDAUs) are spam accounts.

That type of resolution is common in merger disputes, he said, citing the recent deal involving luxury brands Luis Vuitton and Tiffany, which went to court but was ultimately completed at a lower price. Twitter has said that it relies on public and private information, such as ISP numbers and geographic data, on its users to count bots on the platform. "For nearly two months, Mr. Musk has sought the data and information necessary to 'make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter's platform,'" the Friday letter reads. Analysts have speculated that the concerns may be an attempt to create a pretext to get out of a deal he may now see as overpriced, after Twitter shares and the broader tech market have declined in recent weeks. In response, Twitter agreed to hand over its "firehose" stream of tweets Musk has for weeks expressed concerns, without any apparent evidence, that there are a greater number of bots and spam accounts on the platform than Twitter has said publicly.

Musk's lawyers sent a letter to Twitter saying he is “terminating their merger agreement,” according to the filing. In the letter, Musk argues he has a right to ...

Musk himself knew about Twitter’s spam problem, and mentioned it as one of the reasons he wanted to buy the company in the first place. Wall Street has been skeptical Musk will complete the deal for months. Musk shook up the social media world in April by agreeing to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Legal experts have said Musk can’t just walk away from the deal. “We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.” But soon after his takeover announcement, a global sell-off in tech stocks eroded Musk’s own net worth, while making his $54 a share purchase price look like a serious overvaluation of Twitter.

On Thursday, Twitter sought to shed more light on how it counts spam accounts in a briefing with journalists and company executives. “From the beginning this was always a head scratcher to go after Twitter at a $44 billion price tag for Musk and never made much sense to the Street, now it ends (for now) in a Twilight Zone ending with Twitter’s Board back against the wall and many on the Street scratching their head around what is next.” “This is a disaster scenario for Twitter and its board,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote Friday in a note to investors. The chair of Twitter’s board, Bret Taylor, tweeted in response that the board is “committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement. Much of the drama has played out on Twitter, with Musk — who has more than 100 million followers — lamenting that the company was failing to live up to its potential as a platform for free speech. Elon Musk announced he will walk away from his tumultuous $44 billion offer to buy Twitter, leaving the deal on the verge of collapse.

Elon Musk quiere rescindir el acuerdo por US$ 44.000 millones para comprar Twitter, lo último en un proceso vertiginoso.

“Durante casi dos meses, el Sr. Musk ha buscado los datos y la información necesarios para ‘hacer una evaluación independiente de la prevalencia de cuentas falsas o spam en la plataforma de Twitter’”, dice la carta del viernes. Musk dijo en mayo que el acuerdo estaba "en suspenso" mientras evaluaba la cantidad de spam y cuentas falsas en la plataforma, un revés de sus declaraciones anteriores en las que indicó que quería adquirir Twitter para erradicar los bots en la plataforma. El mes pasado, amenazó directamente con retirarse del trato, acusando a Twitter de violar el acuerdo de fusión al no proporcionar los datos que dice que necesitaba para evaluar la cantidad de spam y cuentas falsas en la plataforma. “Confiamos en que prevaleceremos en el Tribunal de Cancillería de Delaware”. Las acciones de Tesla, en las que Musk planeaba confiar en parte para financiar el acuerdo, también han disminuido drásticamente desde que aceptó el acuerdo. Es casi seguro que el próximo capítulo de la saga será una batalla judicial.

El empresario anunció que no mantendrá su preacuerdo de compra de la red social por la que ofreció US$44.000 millones.

Billionaire Elon Musk says he's terminating his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter because the company failed to address his concerns over spam accounts.

While Twitter has said bots make up just 5% of its monetizable daily active users, the letter says that Twitter appears to be “dramatically understating” the proportion of spam and false accounts. “And who says he’s still not trying to acquire it?” Grygiel said. Musk’s $44 billion deal was confirmed in late April after Musk spent nearly three months buying up Twitter shares to increase his stake in the company. Attorney Richard Signorelli said he hopes Musk pays a “hefty penalty” to get out of the deal. Tumbling stock prices, low investor confidence, stockholder lawsuits, and business disruptions were just a few of the possibilities the company laid out. We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery," the tweet read. Donald Trump Jr. declared that Musk walking away from the deal meant Twitter was caught lying about spam accounts. Musk has previously contended that the count is 20% or higher. The stock has fallen sharply since the board accepted Musk's offer to buy the company in April for $54.20 a share. He is popular on Twitter, where he chimes in on politics, talks business openly, and embraces the internet’s meme culture. Skadden Arps attorney Mike Ringler said in a letter to Twitter's chief legal officer that “Twitter has not complied with its contractual obligations." The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO is almost as known for his polarizing online persona as his entrepreneurial endeavors.

Twitter has fully responded to all of Musk’s requests for information and doesn’t believe it has breached the merger agreement, the person said. All signs point to Twitter aggressively defending its position in court, according to a person with knowledge of the company’s thinking. Musk alleges the number is a low estimate. “We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.” Musk has repeatedly said that he would remove nearly all restrictions on what users can post, accusing Twitter of blocking free speech as it makes decisions about which content is too harmful for the site. Jason Miller, CEO of the alternative social network GETTR — which has been known for hosting extremist and conspiratorial content, argued in a statement that Musk’s takeover attempt — and the uproar it caused inside Twitter’s ranks — exposed a “politically discriminatory culture inside the Blue Bird.”

Musk's nine children include pair born to Shivon Zilis, who works at his artificial intelligence company.

Zilis is the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, according to her LinkedIn page. "No one's perfect but I've never met anyone who goes through more personal pain to fight for an inspiring future for humanity - and has done so tirelessly for decades. The company describes itself as "creating the future of brain interfaces: building devices now that will help people with paralysis and inventing new technologies that will expand our abilities, our community, and our world." Zilis previously defended Musk on reopened one of his Tesla factories despite California's COVID restrictions. Insider did not publish the names of the children. Musk has long been vocal about his worries over population decline, and has advocated for people to have more children.

Zilis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis, a top executive at his brain-chip start-up Neuralink, had twins in November 2021, a report said.

Zilis, 36, is identified on her LinkedIn profile as director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, which is co-founded and chaired by Musk, 51. Musk shares two children with Canadian singer Grimes, and other five kids with his ex-wife Canadian author Justine Wilson. A month later, a Texas judge approved the petition, the report added.

The twins were born just weeks before he had a baby girl with Grimes, his former partner, according to Insider.

He had one son and one daughter with musician Grimes, though the two broke up in September 2021, three months before the birth of their daughter. Musk and Zilis filed a petition in a Travis County, Texas, court in April to change the twins' names to "have their father's last name and contain their mother's last name as part of their middle name," a request a judge approved in May, according to Insider, which published a copy of the court petition but redacted the twins’ names. Elon Musk had twins in November with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Musk’s company Neuralink, according to court records obtained by Insider on Wednesday, bringing the number of known living children fathered by the world's richest man to nine.

Kevin Stone has finished head of half-Elon, half-goat monument for cryptocurrency creators.

You have to make that piece fit, not only on top and the bottom, but on the sides as well and all the curves,” Michelle said. He said it was a difficult piece to work on and “an incredible challenge.” “So now I’m having to go back where those bad areas are and try to clean the glue out of there and then re-weld it.” “I built Elon and how many people can actually make metal look like somebody?” he said. Its base is made out of foam and then it was coated in the same material used to line truck beds. The piece is actually part of a larger sculpture that features Musk’s head on top of a goat’s body riding a rocket into space, surrounded by lightning.

Shivon Zillis is a machine learning advocate and major player in Elon Musk's world — and reportedly the mother of two of his children.

(Her LinkedIn page now lists her jobs as director of operations and special projects at the company.) Neuralink is an ambitious moonshot project in Musk’s portfolio, which also includes Tesla and SpaceX, and aims to cut small holes in patients’ skulls to insert brain implants. According to Business Insider, she is 36; Musk is 51.

The twins, along with a second baby Grimes had around the same times, bring Musk's total number of children to 9.

No one’s perfect but I’ve never met anyone who goes through more personal pain to fight for an inspiring future for humanity - and has done so tirelessly for decades,” Zilis tweeted on May 11, 2020. Perhaps Musk’s most famous child is his firstborn boy with Grimes, which they named “X Æ A-12,” prompting confusion around the world over how to pronounce the lad’s name. The twins would bring Musk’s total amount of children to nine. According to the outlet, the petition was approved in early May. The documents had a court stamp and Musk’s signature, according to Insider. Insider reports that Musk welcomed twins on the down low with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, the director of operations and special projects at the company, last November, a month before he and Grimes had a baby they kept from the public. We reached out to Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink for confirmation and comment on Thursday morning but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Musk reportedly welcomed twins with an executive at one of his companies—and she has something in common with the mothers of his other children.

While the three mothers of his children are Canadian, he has had relationships with women from other countries, being married to English-born actor Talulah Riley between 2010 and 2012. "I love Canada!" Elon Musk tweeted during an online conversation back in February 2017. "Right now there's not much I can do. He told The New York Times in 2020 that he doesn't play a prominent role in his children's lives when they are very young. While Musk was born in South Africa and has been based in the U.S. for decades, he did briefly live in Canada from the age of 17, having obtained citizenship through his mother, Maye Musk, who was born in the Great White North. With the news that Elon Musk quietly welcomed twins with an executive at one of his companies, one factor stood out about the women who have borne his children—all three of them were born in Canada.

Nevada tragically died of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, at only 10 weeks. The outlet reported that Musk and Zilis, 36, filed a petition to change the twins’ names in order to “have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name.” Elon Musk appeared to confirm he secretly welcomed twins with Shivon Zilis by tweeting that he’s “doing my best” to help populate the earth.

In May, Business Insider reported that one of Elon’s other companies, SpaceX, paid a flight attendant $250,000 in exchange for not suing or speaking out about her allegation that the executive exposed himself and propositioned her for sex. Zilis is from Canada, and her profile lists board seats at two Canadian AI organizations in the past. She also lists a job at Tesla Motors from 2017 through 2019 working on AI with the Autopilot and chip design teams as well as employment starting in 2016 with OpenAI, the nonprofit AI safety group Musk helped found.

The twins, born to Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, were born shortly before Musk's second child with musician Grimes.

Zilis, a Yale graduate, joined Neuralink in 2017, according to her LinkedIn page. The couple then had twins followed by triplets. Their first child died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, when he was 10 weeks old, Wilson wrote in a Marie Claire article.

“Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis,” he wrote. While both Zilis and Musk declined to comment on Insider’s report about the twins, he reiterated his concerns about underpopulation on Twitter on Thursday morning after the story came out. At the time of the interview, which presumably took place shortly after Y was born, Grimes and Musk appeared to be back together, though she announced when the piece came out in March that they had broken up, and soon after “Page Six” reported that she was dating whistleblower Chelsea Manning. As far as the world knows, Musk, who is 51, has fathered ten children: 18-year-old twins Griffin and Xavier; 16-year-old triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian with his ex-wife Justine Wilson; X and Y with Grimes; and now Zilis’s twins.

Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis, a top executive at his brain-chip startup Neuralink, had twins in November 2021, Insider reported.

Zilis, 36, is identified on her LinkedIn profile as director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, which is co-founded and chaired by Musk, 51. The twins bring Musk's total count of children to nine. He did not refer to the Insider report.

Elon Musk's latest tweets appear to confirm reports he had twins in late 2021 with Shivon Zilis - an executive at his technology company Neuralink.

There is no suggestion that Elon Musk has broken any rules, but the story won't help his reputation with many employees at Twitter, a company he is planning to buy. American media company Insider's report on Wednesday cited court documents identifying Ms Zilis and Mr Musk on a petition to change the name of a child, filed to a Texas district court in April 2022. "Far too many people are under the illusion that Earth is overpopulated, even though birth rate trends are so obviously headed to population collapse," Mr Musk said in a reply to his tweet. The tech giant and business magnate has previously claimed that a declining birth rate combined with the rise of artificial intelligence could result in "not enough people" being in the world. The twins born to Mr Musk and Ms Zilis would be his second set, having previously fathered twins and triplets with former wife and Canadian author Justine Wilson. Mr Musk responded by tweeting on Thursday that he was "doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis".
